Abstract excerpt
Okazaki fragment maturation to produce continuous lagging strands in eukaryotic cells requires precise coordination of strand displacement synthesis by DNA polymerase delta (Pol delta) with 5.-flap cutting by FEN1(RAD27) endonuclease. Excessive strand displacement is normally prevented by the 3.-exonuclease activity of Pol delta. This core maturation machinery can be assisted by Dna2 nuclease/helicase that...
